Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An innovative exploration of the origins, impact, and consequences of the First and Second World Wars, from Peter Clarke, one of our foremost historians. "War is the locomotive of history," claimed Trotsky, a remark often thought to acknowledge the opportunity that the First World War offered the Bolsheviks to seize power in Russia 1917. Here, Peter Clarke broadens the application of this provocative suggestion in order to explore how war, as much as socioeconomic forces or individuals, is the primary mover of history. Twentieth-century warfare, based on new technologies and vast armies, saw the locomotive power of war heightened to an unprecedented level. Through the unique prism of this vast tragedy, Peter Clarke examines some of the most influential figures of the day, on both sides of the Atlantic. In Britain, David Lloyd George, without the strains of war, would never have become prime minister in 1916; Winston Churchill, except for the war crisis of 1940, would have been unlikely to be recalled to office; and John Maynard Keynes likewise would hardly have seen his own economic ideas and authority so suddenly accepted. In different ways, the shadow of the great nineteenth-century Liberal leader Gladstone hung over these men - as it did also over Woodrow Wilson in the United States, seeing his presidency transformed as he faced new issues of war and peace. And it was Franklin Roosevelt who inherited much of Wilson's unfulfilled agenda, with a second chance to implement it with greater success. By following the trajectories of these influential lives, Peter Clarke illuminates many crucial issues of the period: not only leadership and the projection of authority, but also military strategy, war finance and the mobilization of the economy in democratic regimes. And the moral dimension of liberalism, with its Gladstonian focus on guilt, is never forgotten. The Locomotive of War is a fascinating examination of the interplay between key figures in the context of unprecedented all-out warfare, with new insight on the dynamics of history in an extraordinary period.
Download or read book The Locomotive Dictionary Volume 1 written by George L. Fowler and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2008-10 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Note: this is volume 1 of a 2 volume set. You must purchase both books to have a complete copy of this book. In 1905, the American Railway Master mechanics Association adopted a resolution, authorizing the creation of ¿...an illustrated dictionary of each and every part used in the building of locomotives.¿ The result, edited by famed technical writer George Fowler and published by the railroad gazette, was nearly 700 pages long, and richly illustrated with photographs, etchings, and blueprints. The Locomotive Dictionary was a triumph, and became one of the definitive engineering references for the railroad industry during the steam age. This high-quality reprint of a first edition of this wonderful book, represents the first time in decades that it has been available to the public. Softbound in two volumes, it is a wonderful reference that no steam fan or model railroader should be without.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Locomotive, Vol. 18: January, 1897 The difficulty of discovering a crack of this kind is obvious enough, because the crack is entirely out of sight, and as it does not often run into a rivet-hole, it cannot be detected by leakage, until it has actually perforated the plate in some spot. These hidden fractures can sometimes be detected by the presence of radiating, hair-like branch cracks, extending out from under the inside lap. These faint indications might easily be overlooked by the most careful and competent inspector, especially as the joints that are thus affected are often in such a position that minute examination of them is not possible; and too frequently the radiating cracks do not exist at all, so that there is no human means of knowing the true state of the joint, without cutting out the rivets, and separating the plates, - a proceeding altogether too heroic to be in favor among boiler owners, unless there is some tangible reason for suspecting the defect. The dotted lines in Figs. 4, 5, and 6 show where the edge of the inside plate came, in each case. Numerous explosions have been caused by hidden cracks of this kind, with the most disastrous consequences; and hence it is important to discover their cause, if this be possible, and to take precautions against them. If the plates are hard, or tend toward brittleness, they may be so weakened by punching the rivet-holes that a subsequent fracture of some kind, along the joint, may be reasonably expected. It is, therefore, of the first importance to build the boiler of material that has proper ductility. Most of the fractures of the plate at the joint, however, are undoubtedly due to bending the plates in the rolls. From thirty to forty percent, of the sectional area of the plate is removed, along the line of the joint, by the act of punching or drilling the rivet-holes; and when the part that is thus weakened is passing through the rolls, the curvature of the plates at this point is sensibly increased, owing to the greater readiness of the weakened spot to yield to the stress imposed by the rolls.
